Chicago, NYC, New Orleans or Chicago, New Orleans, NYC

[anmldr]

I have decided to use the Cardinal between Chicago and NYC (or vice versa). With that in mind, which direction is more scenic due to time tables…Chicago, NYC, New Orleans or Chicago, New Orleans, NYC? This will be in coach. Oh yes, which side of each the legs is the most scenic?

Thanks.

Eastbound is far and away more scenic on the Card than westbound.
